"I don't know if she knows anything about football," Florentino Perez's sexist remarks during his press conference

During his bizarre press conference on Tuesday, Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, made several sexist remarks against women, including a journalist from the newspaper ABC.

Florentino Perez had something to say to the press on Tuesday. And he did so vehemently, venting his anger at an alleged conspiracy against his club, mired in a major sporting crisis after a trophyless season. The Real Madrid president particularly attacked the Spanish newspaper ABC, which he accused of relentlessly attacking his club. During this lengthy tirade, the 79-year-old executive made several sexist remarks.

"Two articles by a woman whose knowledge of football I don't know"

"Their sole aim was to attack Real Madrid and its president," he declared. "They must have fired them all. And I'm sorry, because my father read ABC and I subscribed to it years ago, but I've decided today to cancel my ABC subscription as a tribute to my father, who will be grateful. How can ABC do this? Nobody buys it (that newspaper), and it's caused a rift within the group. So I'm announcing that I'm canceling my ABC subscription; I'll be paying more tribute to my father by canceling it. Look at the two articles they published today, by a woman whose knowledge of football I have no idea about."

"That girl over there has the right to speak, you're all ugly."

Perez then distinguished himself with another inappropriate remark when he tried to give the floor to Fox Sports journalist Lola Hernandez. "Come on, the young girl over there. She has the right to speak. You're all really ugly (referring to the other journalists present)," he said in a very tense atmosphere.

During this lengthy press conference, Perez called for new elections, stating he was very confident of winning them. "I preside over a major global company that generates millions in revenue and employs 170,000 people," he reminded everyone. "I may be tired of traveling, but not of football. This gentleman just said I'm tired, which is quite surprising, but why is ABC saying that? Have they even seen me tired? We held the board meeting, and starting tomorrow, I'm going to fight with the members because the resellers and the ultras want to take control of the club. Where did this rumor come from that I have cancer, that friends called me to say it's terminal? I wasn't even aware of it. If they want me to leave, I'll leave when someone beats me in the elections. I'll always be a candidate; I imagine these journalists are Atlético Madrid supporters or something."
